The free style captures the water reflection of some of the buildings that date back to the 1700's and confirms why Cape Town was called, "The fairest cape of them all".
The original is gallery-wrapped and so it is ready to be hung without framing. However, it can be removed from its stretchers for safe and economical international shipment.

About the Artist:
According to the Ico Gallery in New York, "Dr. Michael Durst is one of the most exciting South African artists. As a psychologist, Dr. Durst’s paintings create not only beauty for the beholder, but also a state of relaxation and healing. His work combines realism with impressionism, evoking an emotional link to the heart—thus the name: “Heartscapes.” His exhibitions in Cape Town, the Netherlands and New York have received rave reviews and gained Dr. Durst international renown.
Dr. Durst loves to paint the beauty of Cape Town--especially the Waterfront, Table Mountain, ocean views, spring flowers, and the vineyards.
The original is gallery-wrapped but can easily be removed from the stretchers and rolled in a heavy cardboard tube for safe international shipment.
